Credit risk, fraud prevention categories place Experian within top overall ecosystem rankings

Experian, the world’s leading global information services company, has been named a global fintech leader in the Center for Financial Professionals (CeFPro) Fintech Leaders 2022 report. The list and adjoining report are released annually by the international research organization, which recognizes exceptional performance among key players in the financial services and fintech spaces.

Experian ranked among the report’s top companies within the Credit Risk and Fraud Prevention categories, and in the top 15 Overall Ecosystem Rankings, rising five places from 2021. This recognition highlights Experian’s position as a global leader in the fintech space, and the value of fraud and identity management services amid the rise of digital channels, and critical importance of continually developing strategies to mitigate credit risk.

“We are honored to be recognized as a Fintech Leader by CeFPro and featured in one of the most comprehensive international research and ranking programs on the status of fintech industry,” said Alex Lintner, Group President Experian Consumer Information Services. “Experian’s continued focus and investment in credit risk and fraud prevention strategies is critical to our broader mission to help consumers improve their financial wellbeing.”

Over the past year, Experian has focused on helping consumers and financial institutions with a wide range of challenges, including opening-up credit to underserved communities, adapting to changing consumer expectations, addressing the growing threat from fraud, and becoming a more agile technology provider in an ever-changing market.

“We are pleased to share that for the third consecutive year Experian has been recognized within our survey as a leader in the areas of advanced analytics, credit risk and fraud prevention,” said Andreas Simou, Managing Director, Center for Financial Professionals.
